KCSAN detected a simultaneous access to timer values that can be
overwritten in bcm_rx_setup when updating timer and filter content.
This caused no functional issues in the past as the new values might
show up at any time without losing its intended functionality.
Btw. the KCSAN report can be resolved by protecting the 'lockless'
data updates with a spin_lock_bh().
Fixes: ffd980f976e7 ("[CAN]: Add broadcast manager (bcm) protocol")

KCSAN detected a data race within the bcm_rx_handler() when two CAN frames
have been simultaneously received and processed in a single rx op by two
different CPUs.
Use atomic operations to access the statistics in the hot path to fix the
KCSAN complaint.
